Where
To Drink
The Fernhurst is really known as
the 'away supporters pub'. It is on the Bolton Road (A666) just
across from the ground at the away supporters end (Darwen
End).
You can also park at the Fernhurst pub for £5, but you will
be delayed in getting away after the game. It is a large pub with
Sky Sports being shown on a large screen and has a restaurant area
to its rear and a large function room upstairs. On my last visit the
pub had even put up a number of signs welcoming the fans of the
visiting team, which was a nice touch. The
Fernhurst also offers reasonably priced accommodation.
Most other pubs that
I came across in the area, had large signs outside showing that they
were for home fans only. Alcohol is also served within the
ground.
Andrew Kennedy a visiting
Sunderland supporter adds; 'I would also recommend the Golden Cup pub just up Bolton Road
from the Fernhurst (going away from the ground). It is on the small
side but had a good mix of home and away
supporters on my visit'. This pub is a good 15
minute walk away from the Fernhurst going uphill. A little closer
but in the same direction is the Bear Hotel which also has a large
bar and offers parking for £4.
If you are arriving at Mill
Hill station, then you might want to give the Navigation pub a try.
It is a Thwaites pub which sits on one side of a canal and on my
visit had a good mix of home and away supporters. It is about a five
minute walk way from the station. As you exit the station turn left
and just keep straight on up the road in front of you. As you
approach a bridge going over the canal, the pub can be seen just
over on the right.
